The world of headphones has changed quite drastically over the past few years. Technology has certainly played a major hand in that, and today the next generation of headphones makes its way to the game. Today we get our first look at Sony’s New Noise Cancelling MDR-1000X Headphones. These sleek and stunning headphones offer clear, clean hi-res audio, toggle buttons and more. Sony comes with the heat on this one, offering up a “sense engine” which adjusts audio based on the wearer’s head, and a “quick attention” mode which gives it the ability to hear announcements simply by cupping one side.

The design and features are both functional and forward thinking offering up what could be the smartest headphones on the market. You can play hi-res audio, integrate with your smartphone’s voice recognition software and include gesture panels along the side. The soft synthetic leather makes a nice secure fit while rocking folding earcups allow you to pack the device with ease. Check out the sharp looking and clean new design from Sony in the short video below and speak your mind on it after the jump. Stay tuned for much more from Sony coming very soon!
